MILE BUÍOCHAS : There is a lot of very much appreciated work going on by parishioners who so willingly give their time & resources to help maintain inside & outside our three churches. Weeds disappear magically from church grounds. Recently, tricky work was carried out to remove bees in the attic of Our Lady of the Rosary Church. We wish to acknowledge and thank you all for your help in any way throughout the year.
